Santa Maria Assunta, Romanesque Revival church in La Spezia, Italy.
The church features a circular design with three entrance portals and a central cupola that allows natural light to illuminate the interior space.
The structure dates back to 1443 and served as a pro-cathedral from 1929 until 1975 when the new La Spezia cathedral was constructed.
The interior houses numerous artworks, including an 18th-century wooden crucifix, a Carrara marble altar, and a bronze Deposition of Christ by Angiolo Del Santo.
The church maintains regular visiting hours and stands in the historic center of La Spezia, with access to public transportation and nearby parking facilities.
The crypt contains the reliquary of San Venerio and features white and grey marble flooring leading to a central altar made of pure white marble.
